Cleaning the Suppressed UDP-9i
Ever pondered about the vitality of keeping your suppressed barrel impeccably clean? The relevance of the task is undeniable. With that said, a well-cleaned UDPi Integral Suppressor doesn't just promise an effective performance but also promises minimal maintenance!
Here's your step-by-step guide to UDP-9i integral suppressor:
Post the 500 rounds interval:
- Initiate the process by cleaning the chamber, barrel, and the suppressor tube's interior using a cleaner, effective in breaking down carbon and lead deposits.
- Resort to using a wire brush if necessary. Remember, prolonged soaking of the outer suppressor tube in harsh cleaning solutions can damage the Cerakote finish.
As you reach the 2500 rounds mark:
- Start by removing the complete barrel and suppressor unit from the firearm. Also, take off the end cap, sleeve and the O-ring on the back cap.
- Immerse the entire unit in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with a light degreaser solution. If not available, find a container that can fully submerge the barrel and the suppressor unit.
- Let it soak for 2-4 hours. Use a wire brush to disintegrate carbon build-up around the blast chamber ports and the barrel.
- Repeat the process with the inside sleeve.
- Carefully examine the O-ring for potential damage and replace it if required.
- Make sure to drain all liquid from the barrel and the suppressor core.
- Use an air nozzle to ensure all parts are thoroughly dry.
- Reassemble the parts in reverse order of disassembly.
- Finally, reinstall the barrel assembly, keeping an eye on your handguard mounting nut orientation to ensure your handguard aligns with your receiver.
Maintenance might seem tedious, but the result is worth the effort. A clean suppressor guarantees not just a smooth shooting experience, but also a longer life for your firearm. As they say, a little TLC goes a long way!
